Last week, my daughters were invited to a Lip Gloss Party by my good friend Tammy, who is also a homeschooling mama. All the kids that came got together and made their very own lip gloss out of Vaseline, coconut oil, beeswax, and almond bark - and had a blast in the process. Of course, us moms had a great time too. After all, there was adult conversation involved.;)

All the moms brought something, and I was assigned the cupcakes. Since Valentines is around the corner, I thought it would be relevant to do a cutesy Valentine-ish cupcake to bring, that didn't take too much time to whip up. Looking through my baking cabinet, I found a box of strawberry cake mix and another of brownie mix - that I scored for free with some coupons a while back.

Preheat the oven according to the cake mix directions. Spray your cupcake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Put a spoonful of brownie mix in each cupcake hole, and top with 2-3 spoonfuls of strawberry cake batter. Bake according to the cake mix directions. Cool completely before frosting.
